We present improvements in RF microelectromechanical switch design and fabrication that demonstrated improved lifetimes in cycled switches. First, implementation of RuO2-Au contact metallurgy into an existing design showed improved switch lifetime ov

An optical true time delay device is demonstrated that is capable of supporting 112 antennas with 81 different delays (>; 6 bits) in a volume 16" × 5" × 4" including the box with electronics. It uses a free-space design based on the White cell, and

A new optical configuration for switching light beams called a spherical Fourier cell is explained. Its use for optical true time delay is outlined. An experimental apparatus was constructed for a 6-bit delay system, with 2 bits demonstrated. Delays

A soft-landing actuation waveform was designed to reduce the bounce of a single-pole single-throw (SPST) ohmic radio frequency (RF) microelectromechanical systems (MEMS) switch during actuation. The waveform consisted of an actuation voltage pulse, a

In this research, micro-Raman spectroscopy is employed to examine, and characterize the residual stress in MUMPs polysilicon, micro-electro-mechanical systems (MEMS) microbridge structures. Currently, few techniques are available to measure the resid

The effect of surface chemistry on the tribological performance and reliability of a MEMS lateral output motor is reported. Relative humidity (RH) and octadecyltrichlorosilane (OTS) self-assembled monolayer (SAM) coatings were used to change surface

MEMS devices are becoming a pervasive part of today’s technology world. Currently, MEMS designers have to take residual stresses into account when designing microdevices. A more ideal state would be for the developer to design to function and to co
